FoxScript adds lambdas and an HTTP server to Visual FoxPro 18 years after Microsoft killed it, 334 HN points
Hacker News·low signal
FoxDev Studio (FoxDevCommunity/FoxDevStudio, MIT, Rust, created 2026-09-22) keeps existing FoxPro code working unchanged. It adds lambda blocks, a FoxScript.Http server for answering web requests from existing business code, and cursor-to-JSON conversion, all on the same bytecode runtime. The HN post took 334 points but the repo has 48 stars, so interest runs well ahead of adoption.
